The communities surrounding airports have become increasingly aware of airport emissions and potential impacts of those emissions on local air quality and public health. Those concerns along with growth in airport operations have spurred the need for airport operators to more fully understand the potential for health impacts related to airport operations and to develop better information and methods to share this information with the public.
ACRP Web-Only Document 62: Understanding Airport Air Quality and Public Health Studies Related to Airports, Second Edition, from TRB's Airport Cooperative Research Program, evaluates and updates the existing body of knowledge on air quality and public health studies related to airports to help airport operators better understand and respond to airport-related air quality and public health concerns.
Supplement to the document is an interactive version of Appendix A from the report that lists relevant peer-reviewed publications.
